Chapter 89: 89
“What’s wrong with your Daddy? Your Daddy doesn’t look good,” Xiao Jingting said.
“Grandfather came and asked Daddy to bring him 30 cups of cold drinks. And Daddy asked him to pay thirty taels. But grandfather did not want to pay so they quarreled. Grandfather said Daddy was unfilial in front of the customers, which made Daddy so embarrassed. He made a big scene there. Grandfather sold Daddy before, but now he came to scold Daddy,” Xiao Xiaodong said sadly.
Xiao Jingting rubbed his nose. Sometimes filial piety killed people! If Xu Fu asked for a drink secretly, Xu Muan might not refuse to give it to him. But it was not suitable for him to do this in front of customers. If everyone tried to form tied with us and asked for free, how could we do business!
Xu Fu had a big appetite! He asked for 30 cups of drinks at first. If Xu Muan agreed with him, he would ask more in the future.
Xu Muan was Xiao Jingting’s concubine, and the shop was also Xiao Jingting’s. If Xu Muan gave Xu Fu drinks, people of the Xiao family would inevitably say that Xu Muan subsidized the Xu family with the money of the Xiao family. However, if Xu Muan refused him, the Xiao family would feel that Xu Muan was without sensibilities. Xu Muan was wrong in any case.
“And the Xiao Family came, elder aunt of the Xiao family also came. She was green-eyed with our good business and had a chat with Daddy. Dad, you could ask the second uncle to help you with the shop. Anyway, the second uncle has nothing to do now. He has children at home and cannot go outside to work. What’s more, the second uncle has more prestige. If the second uncle is in the shop, my grandfather dare not make trouble,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
Xiao Jingting nodded. Indeed, he didn’t consider thoughtfully. Xu Muan was his concubine and a Ger. Even though he was good at cultivation, his identity was still criticized by others.
If the business got big, the Xiao’s family might come to make trouble. By then, the identity of Xu Muan may be repeatedly spoken out. It was amazing that little Xiao Xiaodong incredibly knew what was prestige.
“Well, I’ll find your second uncle,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Well, Dad, I’d better go with you.”
Xiao Jingting,“…” Xiao Xiaodong was afraid that he couldn’t make it clear?
“Do you want me to help you with the shop?” Xiao Jinfeng asked.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes!”
“Second uncle, mother and father have no prestige. Those unkind people are too arrogant. You must help us.” Xiao Xiaodong said with his hands resting on his hips.
Xiao Jinfeng, “…”
Xiao Jingting patted Xiao Xiaodong’s head and said, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“I’m not talking nonsense,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
“My brother, if you help me look after the shop, I will share you 30% of the profit, how about it?” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Jinfeng was helpless and said with a smile, “I will not ask for your money.”
The two brothers prevaricated for a while, and finally reached a 20% profit sharing.
For Xiao Jingting’s sudden change of store manager, Xu Muan was not angry, but felt very relaxed.
“It would be good if the shop was run by the second brother.” Xiao Jinfeng was a member of the Xiao family. His parents practiced Qi of eight levels. They had more prestige than him.
“You’ve been so tired lately. Let the idle second brother manage the shop. You just stay at home, develop some new drinks and brew some spirit wine,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Muan nodded, smiled and said, “OK.”
Now it was Xiao Jinfeng to manage the shop, Xiao Xiaodong and Xiao Xiaofan still went to help him.
Xiao Xiaodong worked very seriously. Although Xiao Xiaofan was not very smart, he could still do some simple things well.
Xu Fu came again and found that the manager had become Xiao Jinfeng, he left without daring to show up.
Xiao Xiaodong had told Xiao Jinfeng that the business of the shop was good, but only when he saw it with his own eyes could he know how good the business was. A lot of people bought ten drinks at a time, because there was a discount in the shop, if you bought ten drinks, you could get another for free.

Xiao Jinfeng looked at the busy Xiao Xiaodong and Xiao Xiaofan, and felt that Xiao Jingting’s two children had been taught so well. They were so young, but very sensible.
After Xiao Jinfeng sold out all the prepared drinks, he closed the shop and went home.
…………
“Jingting, your shop is doing very well.” As soon as Xiao Jingfeng came back, he found Xiao Jingting and said with excitement.
Looking at the excited Xiao Jinfeng, Xiao Jingting said with a smile, “At the beginning, some people may buy a lot for new things. After a few days, the business may not be so good.”
“But after a few days, you will have regular customers! It cannot be bad.” Xiao Jinfeng said. “The sales volume today has reached about 1000 taels of silver. If you can maintain this speed, you can earn 30000 taels a month, and you can pay back the arrears of that 10000 taels of silver every month, which is not a problem at all.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “I hope so.”
“Jingting, today a lot of people asked for delivery service, if we offer delivery service, we can sell more,” Xiao Jinfeng said.
“I have also considered delivery service. We need to determine the starting delivery volume and recruit some delivery personnel. Second brother, do you have suitable people on hand?”
“I have known some suitable people,” Xiao Jinfeng touched the back of his own head and said with a smile.
Xiao Jingting asked, “Mercenaries?”
Xiao Jinfeng laughed awkwardly and said, “There was a man in the mercenary team who was wounded by a demonic beast when he was fighting, so he chose to leave because he couldn’t practice anymore. Another’s leg was bitten by a demonic beast, so he had to use a prosthetic leg and could not move conveniently. However, he can settle accounts without any problems and help in the shop. The third one was… ”
“Second brother, don’t you hate the mercenaries?” Xiao Jingting asked.
“When I was expelled from the mercenary corps, those people had already left, so it had nothing to do with them.”
Xiao Jinfeng sighed, and then said, “Jingting, mercenaries gamble their lives on their future. Once they are eliminated, their lives are difficult. When mercenaries can make money, they are the pillar of the family. If they are eliminated, they will become a burden to their families. I went to visit my former teammates. One of them was injured and came home. His wife ran away with someone else. He was also despised by his brother. He’s really pitiful.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “In this case, brother, you can make the decision. You can make a batch of uniform for the delivery staff.”
“Well, I understand.” Xiao Jinfeng said.
Xiao Jingting hesitated and said, “Brother, when you were a mercenary, it was very hard, right?”
Xiao Jinfeng smiled and said, “It’s all over.”
